5G Factor: Arrcus, T-Mobile, Ericsson Boost 5G Readiness
In this episode of the 5G Factor by The Futurum Group, Ron Westfall and Tom Hollingsworth discuss recent partnerships between Arrcus, T-Mobile, and Ericsson. They highlight pivotal advancements in 5G readiness, signaling a direction towards increased capacity and customized network solutions. Arrcus’s recent $30 million funding boost, notably supported by NVIDIA, is set to enhance its ACE platform focusing on optimizing 5G networks through a microservices architecture. Meanwhile, T-Mobile’s launch of the Partner Plus program and Ericsson’s push for differentiated 5G services outline industry efforts to improve network efficiency, security, and monetization in the growing 5G landscape. This recording followed Arrcus’ presentation at Networking Field Day 35 last month.
The Interchanging Roles of Hardware and Software in Fueling Innovation
In this Gestalt IT article, Sulagna Saha reacts to a delegate discussion at Networking Field Day 35 focused on the interdependent dynamics between hardware and software in propelling technological innovation. She notes how cloud technologies and subscription models are boosting software sales, while hardware remains vital in fields like AI and machine learning. Saha emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between the two, where software amplifies hardware’s capabilities and demand, underscoring hardware’s enduring foundational role in technology’s evolution.
Intel IPU – Unlocking the Power of Functional Isolation
Intel’s innovative Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU) addresses the challenges in traditional CPU designs in cloud platforms, enhancing efficiency in resource management. This technology supports functional isolation and boosts security by enabling the segregation of processing tasks between CPUs and enhanced Network Interface Cards (NICs), freeing up CPU resources for more application-focused tasks. This article by Sulagna Saha at Gestalt IT details the adoption of IPUs based on Intel’s presentation at Networking Field Day 35.
Scaling Up with AI and Network Observability: cPacket’s Technological Leap
cPacket is using AI and network observability to help manage and improve networks more effectively. Their AI algorithm can quickly analyze lots of network data in real-time to find patterns and problems that might be missed with manual monitoring. cPacket’s solutions work across different types of networks, like physical or virtualized ones, to help operators keep track of performance and security. Read more in Jeffrey Powers’ recent LinkedIn Pulse article following Networking Field Day 35.
Experience Expansion
Experience is important because it helps us understand why things are done a certain way. Rushing through gaining experience can lead to gaps in knowledge or being in over our heads in a role that requires more knowledge than we have. It’s better to take the time to gain experience while working, even if it means long hours, rather than trying to skip steps and facing challenges later on. Hiring and giving opportunities to those who need experience is more effective than setting unrealistic requirements for entry-level roles. Read more in Tom Hollingsworth’s recent article, which was inspired by cPacket’s presentation at Networking Field Day 35.
